wpabaln.exe and viewmgr.exe
do you have wpabaln.exe running? i cant figure out if its a legit file or spyware. i did some googles, some ppl said it was a windows file, some said to delete it cause it was spyware.
also, do you have viewmgr.exe running? that is confirmed spyware, yet i cant figure out where its coming from!?!? and also, so many ppl have viewmgr.exe too... i wanted to know if it was safe to delete wpabaln.exe thx

Uninstall Viewpoint Media Player from "Add/Remove Programs" in the Windows Control Panel.
If you have AOL, it will just keep reinstalling as it is a required component. |

Adaware is more user friendly so if you want to use that go ahead, but every now and then I would also scan with Spy-bot because both these programs sometimes don't detect stuff that the other one will. Also don't forget to update before every scan. I would not get anything besides Ad-aware and Spy-bot for removal because lots of the spyware cleaners out there are spyware themselves, so you have to be careful. Now if you have a certain problem like a certain spyware that won't leave, you might need to install a special tool like CWS shredder, Hijack this etc., those are ok. If you have spyware that just won't leave then let us know and we will try to help you. |

1. Ad-Aware 1.05 SE
2. Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3 Install and update both, use them. If you still have problems, read the sticky thread about HijackThis logs, get it, run it, post a log. |

Just boot in safe mode and Delete the .exe and the entire folder. Thats what i did because i couldn't uninstall it from the Add/Remove Programs. That did the trick. It cant run if its not there
